Currently we have several pairs of hollow and rounds in our store. These are tuned and ready to go out of the box. All are beech and bedded at 55 degrees. Sizes available as of this post are #2, #4, #8, and #12. This corresponds to radius sizes of 1/8", 1/4", 1/2", and 3/4". (The number of the plane is its radius in sixteenths of an inch.) More information about our hollow and rounds can be found here. Planes available for immediate purchase can be found in our store.

Match planes, or tongue and groove planes, are made in pairs with one plane cutting the groove and the other the tongue for making the tongue and groove joint. Both planes are fenced and the pieces, when referenced from the same stock face, will line up flush when when put together. The tongue plane is a standard side escapement plane and employs an iron with a slot in it the width of the finished tongue. The groove plane however is actually a type of fixed plow plane with a metal keel. Be

Rabbet, or rebate planes, are used to cut rabbets along the edge or a board, often as a precursor to using hollow and rounds. While still considered a side escapement plane, they do differ from most other molding planes with the design of the escapement. Because the iron extents across the entire sole of the plane, the escapement is conical and also through the entire plane, and will help direct the shavings out the side. Ours are "off the bench" in design, meaning that the shavings will eje

We have two dates set for our fall hollow and round plane making classes. These are three day classes and will introduce the students to the art of making side escapement planes. Topics covered include cutting the mouth, excavating the mortise and fitting the wedge, and bedding the iron. The sole is profiled and the iron ground to match. Heat treating will be done also, along with sharpening and tuning the plane. Dates are as follows:
September 6-8. 2018
November 1-3, 2018

Out of stock. Another batch is planned this fall. If interested contact us to reserve a copy.
After making several portable workbenches for our plane making classes for use by students, we have received numerous requests for the complete bench by customers. In response to these requests, we have added them to our product line. Dubbed the "milkman's workbench" by Chris Schwarz in his Popular Woodworking article in June 2013, this tabletop bench is designed to clamp to any solid surface
